Editorial Review Product Description This book brings cognition to life by demonstrating the endless application of cognitive psychology to everyday life. While introducing the current research in this rapidly changing field, the text also introduces critical thinking exercises that highlight important phenomena and provide an engaging firsthand view of the everyday relevance of research in cognition. The book has three main threads that serve as unifying themes for current research in the field: Cognition and Neuroscience; Cognition and Consciousness; and Cognition and Individual Differences. A “story” introduces the book and is continually referred to throughout in installments, highlighting the application of the information and providing a useful organizing tool. Customer Reviews (5)

Editorial Review Product Description The Embodied Mind provides a unique, sophisticated treatment ofthe spontaneous and reflective dimension of human experience. Theauthors argue that only by having a sense of common ground between mindin science and mind in experience can our understanding of cognition bemore complete. Toward that end, they develop a dialogue betweencognitive science and Buddhist meditative psychology and situate it inrelation to other traditions such as phenomenology and psychoanalysis.

list price: US$37.95 -- used & new: US$27.44 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0415221013 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Cognitive Science is a major new guide to the central theories and problems in the study of the mind and brain. The authors clearly explain how and why cognitive science aims to understand the brain as a computational system that manipulates representations. They identify the roots of cognitive science in Descartes - who argued that all knowledge of the external world is filtered through some sort of representation - and examine the present-day role of Artificial Intelligence, computing, psychology, linguistics and neuroscience. |

In a "nutshell"
good book to have
Required reading for cognitive scientists The good news:There are some truly excellentarticles in this book.Microcolumns and macrocolumns, cerebellar chips,the pathways of the visual system - you can read this book and find out ahundred amazingly cool things that you never even realized you desperatelyneeded to know.Oddly enough, MITECS is also a pretty good as anencyclopedia - if you suddenly need to know more about vision, you'll findwhat you need to know in "Visual Anatomy and Physiology".(Or"Visual Processing Streams".Or "High-Level Vision". Or "Computational Vision".Or "Mental Rotation".Youdo need to do a certain amount of hunting, if it's a sufficiently broadsubject.More than half the cerebral cortex is devoted to vision - see"Mid-Level Vision" - and MITECS reflects this fact.) MITECS*excels* as an authoritative reference; you'll almost never need to quoteanything else.If you're familiar with cognitive science, you'll oftenlaugh when you get to the end of an article and see the author's byline: "Columns and Modules" by William Calvin, "Chinese RoomArgument" by John Searle, "Evolutionary Computation" byMelanie Mitchell, "Evolutionary Psychology" by Leda Cosmides andJohn Tooby. The bad news:If you try to read MITECS linearly, you willfind that many of the articles, perhaps even a majority, are eminentlyskippable.(For the record, I read them anyway.)As all of the articleswere written by independent individuals - none of whom could read the bookfirst, since it didn't exist yet - there is understandably a great deal ofduplication of information.Every third author feels the need to informyou that the mind is a computational information-processing system.(If Ihad one request to make of the hundreds of authors who write the nextedition, it would be:"Skip all the introductory material and thephilosophy and try to pack in as much useful detail as you can.") There are also some understandable problems with depth of coverage, madeworse by the aforesaid tendency to write introductions; whenever I read anarticle about a topic that I had earlier studied in more detail, it reallybrought home the realization that each of these 471 articles tries to covera topic about which *multiple* entire books have been written. There areseveral things I'd like to see in future editions of this book.First andforemost is *less philosophy* and more focus on concrete details,particularly *surprising* details, or details that have somethingsubstantial to say about how the mind works.I don't want to know whatDavid Hume thought about causality; I want to know if anything interestinghappens when research subjects are asked to reason about causality.(Imust also confess myself uninterested in most of the biographical articlesthat form much of MITECS - but then, that's probably because I'm not usingit to study history.)Finally, I would like to see a neuroanatomical indexas well as a table of contents.It's already a big book, but they canafford another six pages to show a detailed neuroanatomical map, with namesfor the areas, and references to the appropriate sections of the book. Such a map would be an enormous help to those of us trying to build up aconcrete visualization of the brain. Conclusion:This is a *really good*book.It's not so much "a good book with a few drawbacks" as"an excellent book with tremendous potential for *even more*improvement", and I mean this in all seriousness.If you're acognitive scientist, you have basically no choice but to buy this book.Ifyou're a student of the mind or a cognitive hobbyist, then this may not bethe *first* book you buy, but you will buy it sooner or later. It's justsuch a great book. ... Read more |
